It’s Good News On One Newcastle Striker

There is news in the Chronicle today that Papiss Cisse may have recovered form his groin injury in times for the vital home game against West Brom a week on Saturday.

Papiss is in France at the moment and working with a personal trainer following the groin operation he had two weeks ago.

Papiss Cisse – could play within two weeks The Senegal international is still in France apparently working with a personal trainer following a small groin operation.

Coming back from any injury is always dodgy so we hope there are no setbacks with the Senegal International because we need him back and we need him – we need somebody – to start scoring goals for us this season – otherwise we could be doomed to the Championship.

Cisse has been out of action for Newcastle since our 1-1 draw at home to Aston Villa on 19th December – just over 5 weeks ago.

Since then we have played seven games and lost five of them.

🙁

And as usual we have picked up a ton of injuries this season, but that’s nothing new and we shouldn’t act surprised when that happens.

It happens all the time, which is one reason we should have an even bigger squad than most Premier League clubs – not a smaller one.

Let’s hope Papiss is available for the West Brom game – a game we have to win.

I’m not sure what went wrong with Cisse, when he came he was a goal machine, but the last two seasons he doesn’t even know the off side rule and is pretty much useless apart from if the ball lands in front of him in the goal entrance he may poach one. Apart from that he runs around with a smile on his face.

jesper I see you’re causing mayhem and confusion again. Thought it was me but many don’t understand what your getting at. At school I was always taught that if you can’t explain something simply, you don’t know it well enough. Also when responding to others that the highest form of ignorance is when you disagree with someone or reject something they’ve said which you don’t know anything about. It’s not a crime to admit that you haven’t got a clue. Just make it easy and clear it’s a simple principle. Happy to help.

Well we’ve finally got Townsend, let’s hope he delivers, he will be a good player for us but I think with the correct scouting system we could have got a better player for the money. Why we keep ignoring our defensive and striker problems I’m not sure.

On Lacazette – The Telegraph have claimed an exclusive, saying that their information is that the ‘Lacazette camp’ have made clear to Newcastle that the player is now interested in listening to what Newcastle have to say

Carl – stop your blog mischief. By your own comments that if you cannot explain something simply you do not know your subject well enough 0n that basis I presume we’ll not be hearing from you again.

I asked you the other day what your relationship was with Ian Toon – you failed to respond.

I did note however that you both use a similar phrase with a non common variation. I speak of the phrase I would write as “Yeh right”. You both seem to use the version “Yer right”. Maybe nothing but who knows.

health update

My latest checkup was yesteday and after a battery of tests the results show the cancer remains stabilized and has not spread further.

Some background - I was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer in February 2017 after being in remission for six years. and I completed four months of intense chemotherapy in late July.

The cancer metastasized through the bones and one treatment available I am undergoing is hormone treatment.

There is no cure for Stage 4 cancer and I will continue to have exhaustive blood tests about every three months and CAT-scans and bone-scans when necessary.

I will do my best under the circumstances and I take this as another challenge - a big one.

One of our avid readers Kacper Tylenda from Poland was the person who came in during April, 2017 and redesigned this web-site from top to bottom.

We think he did a fantastic job to modernize the site with the roll-out on Thursday May 18th surprisingly smooth.

I am so appreciative of his help.

Kacper is starting his own business in web-design so if you want a website built or know of people who want to redo their sites in any way – here’s his portfolio.

It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city. It’s a small boy clambering up stadium steps for the very first time, gripping his father’s hand, gawping at that hallowed stretch of turf beneath him and, without being able to do a thing about it, falling in love.
